I have 20,000 miles on my 05 FX4 and the stock 275/65/18 bf rugged terrains are already just about worn out.This is the quickest I have ever gone through tires.Any suggestions for long lasting replacements? and did ya'lls stock tires wear this fast?

my stock goodyear wrangler AT/S tires lasted me 50k, on my second set now and they are wearing a little quicker, im currently at 76k. my next set of tires will be 35s and i'll be lifted

best wearing AT tires are BFGoodrich AT KOs no doubt. plus they are very aggressive for an all terrain, perform well onroad, in the rain, snow, and even in the mud.

FYI , The factory tires are not worth a flip, I was able to get Ford to replace mine at 23k. 4 tires 4 different wear patterns now have 68k miles and getting due for tires.

I have a 2wd 04 larait and I went with the 275/65-18 rugged trails

You can easily get 60,000 miles out of BFG AT KO's.

My original Wrangler AT/S' lasted 90k km's, 55k miles or so, and my next set I replaced at 175k km's or 112k miles or so. Mind you, I beat the chit out of both sets, lighting them up all the time. My second set I gave to a buddy for his 04 which had the Hankook poop. He was in a situation that Ford wouldn't cover the extremely fast wear, so he swapped to mine, used for another 6 months and traded it in with the original tires not needing him to replace them. I have the new Wrangler Silent Armor now from Goodyear. These tires are really good. Michelin's are too, as well as many others. The better care you take of them, the longer they last.

I'm at 30k on my Stock tires and it's looking like I should be able to pull 50k+.

Although, my rear tires seem to be wearing a bit faster. The fronts look almost bran new.

My Goodyear 27565R18 AT/S tires still are OK at 69K miles. They have 6/32ds of so on em. Still do fine in rain and ride perfectly smooth. Whatever you get have them to do road force balance like the factory does. No vbrations or shakes with road force. I can't change sizes because my OD affects my towing setup. Otherwise I'd think about 305/60's
